Yep. I rode a camel.

It seems like things have been really busy lately. But it's a good busy because a lot has been getting done around the house. We recently went five days with no internet service. You know what I missed the most? Not being able to check the weather (we haven't had any TV service for awhile now and so I can't just turn on the news). Speaking of TV's...

Haylee is master of pushing buttons and so our Sour Cream and whipped cream cheese lids are taped over the buttons to keep Miss Busy Fingers from being tempted (which would always result in Carter yelling and Haylee because she would always turn off his movie or something fun like that).

Miss Busy Fingers can now reach the top of the table. Carter left his breakfast a little too close to the edge and so Haylee took full advantage.

Olivia lost her first tooth (& shortly after, her second tooth also) and left this letter by her bed.

Yep, those are the two new teeth growing in. She had those before she even lost a single tooth.

Carter started playing T-ball. Annnnndddd....he hates it! We are trying to make him finish the season (we really are just getting started) because we don't really know what else to do. He is SO bored with it and is constantly yelling from the field, "Mommy, how much longer?" Poor kid. Maybe he's more of a soccer dude.

Haylee's first ice cream cone.

I don't think she understood that it's not really a finger food.

Carter and Olivia got a Butterfly Garden and Ladybug Land for Easter. They have LOVED watching their caterpillars turn into butterflies and larvae turn into Lady Bugs. It was a huge hit!

Haylee got really sick a few weeks back. She had a fever for five days and was extremely lethargic. Luckily Netflix has plenty of Sesame Street episodes to keep her entertained while laying around that long.

The kids getting a turn at looking at the disgusting gutters.
Someday they'll be able to clean those out for you Aaron!

I remember always doing this when I was a kid. Carter has gotten quite good at getting almost to he top before he chickens out.

Carter got a haircut!

He wanted it just like Daddy's...#1 all over.

Last Saturday we went down to the GE plant for Family Day. They haven't had one of these since before Olivia was born. They spare no expense at these events! It was great!

Free food all over the place.

Carter enjoyed an afternoon of chips and ice cream.

(Because what four year old wants a chicken sandwich when there is the good stuff around?)

It rained off and on, but that didn't keep us from having fun. Carter and Olivia doing the Wax Hands.

Those were pretty cool.

Haylee feeding the goats.

Olivia loves this kind of stuff.

I think she sat here and fed the chicks and chickens for 20 minutes.

Haylee hung out in the stroller a lot. Lots of candy kept her happy.

Cincinnati Circus did most of the entertaining for us.

Olivia trying out the tight rope walking.

Squeezing in a little snooze.




Yep. It's really a camel.
